Saturday Night Live Gov. Palin and Katie Couric Interview

Sunday, October 05, 2008

Tina Fey is brilliant and Poehler plays the perfect foil.Best lines: *****************Fey as Palin: Katie, I would like to use one of my lifelines.******************POEHLER AS COURIC: "On foreign policy, I want to give you one more chance to explain your claim that you have foreign policy experience based on Alaska's proximity to Russia. What did you mean by that?"

FEY AS PALIN: "Well, Alaska and Russia are only separated by a narrow maritime border. (using her hands to illustrate) You got Alaska here, this right here is water, and this is Russia. So, we keep an eye on them."

POEHLER AS COURIC: "And how do you do that exactly?"

FEY AS PALIN: "Every morning, when Alaskans wake up, one of the first things they do, is look outside to see if there are any Russians hanging around. And if there are, you gotta go up to them and ask, 'What are you doing here?' and if they can't give you a good reason, it's our responsibility to say, you know, 'Shoo! Get back over there!'******************POEHLER AS COURIC: Forgive me, Mrs. Palin, but it seems to me when cornered you get increasing adorable. Is that fair to say?

FEY AS PALIN: I don't know is it? (PALIN pretends to shoot off fake guns and then winks at the audience) phew, phew, phew, winks
